After seeing how well Timmins & Mete complimented each other at the WJC I've always envisioned a Girard- Timmins pairing (hopefully he can overcome his injury woes).IMO his ceiling is elite #2. He will never be a work horse like those bigger guys who can easily log close to 25 min for 82 games. Ideally I'd not push Girard too much over 20 minutes per game. What we have to keep in mind is Girard needs to spend more energy than bigger players when he's playing the body or just trying not to get hit. This is tiring on the long run.
However, the good news is the chances of him reaching his ceiling appears to be pretty good at the moment.
I think him playing next to a big guy like EJ is ideal.
Girard - Timmins
Zadorov - Makar
Is how I see our top 4 D in 3 - 5 years
